Remote control question

Just started my post winter check out and found the remote control unit to be malfunctioning. It operates the scare lights only, nothing else. Even though it obviously was communicating with the receiver I did a reprogram, the light flashed indicating communication but no change in function. Any ideas?

Did you check the battery? I have to replace mine about every six months

Also, don't forget to turn the remote on. The scare light button always works but the others do not until you turn the remote on. Use this link to the instructions for Lippert remote control: http://www.lci1.com/LIP/0113.pdf This is the remote we have on our Monty, it sould be similar to what you have. Hope this helps.

Not sure what did it?? Stuck button or something, but it's working. Thanks guys. While I was out there decided to wash her down. Damn she looks good!! I'm sure I'll be hurting in long lost places tomorrow but she's looking good today.

Interesting. Have had our remote for over three years. NEVER replaced the battery and it still works fine.

The remotes were changed in 2010. The newer one uses a too small of a battery, and it must be changed yearly at best.

Had ours nearly as long (two years) with same results.

Check the molex plug from the panel. Mine has a bad ground connection. As a result my remote will not work sometimes (but the scare light will). Once I wiggle the molex plug it all stats working again. Something to check out.
